You know jelly and jam are not the same, right? Jam has fruit pieces in it, but jelly does not. They are made through different processes. It appears that the sandwich was popularized by American solders after WWII. (The story goes that peanut butter and jelly were part of the GI rations, so they put them together to make the peanut butter easier to eat.) Perhaps jam is more prevalent in the UK?

Jam is more common in Canada. Or, it was more common in my house when I was a kid. I like marmalade more though.
